The extraordinary session of the United Nations Security Council scheduled at Belgrade’s behest to discuss the situation in Kosovo, will be held in New York in the evening of Feb. 8. Serbia will be represented by its president, Aleksandar Vucic.
Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Feb. 7 that Hugh Todd, his counterpart from Guyana, which currently presides over the Council, informed him that the meeting should be open to the public.
Serbia requested the emergency meeting on Feb. 5 due to the ongoing situation in Kosovo, which it claims is “in direct conflict with the U.N. Charter and U.N.S.C. Resolution 1244.”
Dacic told the media that the move was made “over the general situation in Kosovo and Metohija, the terror [local] Serbs are subject to, the attempt to abolish the dinar and everything [else] that constitutes a violation of Resolution 1244 and other international documents” pertaining to Kosovo.
The U.N. Security Council holds regular sessions on Kosovo twice a year, in April and October, to discuss Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s six-month reports on the operation of the U.N. Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). The last such session was held on Oct. 23, 2023.
